I am so lucky to have found them while planning to get Tallulah. Not realizing how much Yorkies need companionship, I had planned on having them provide daycare until Tallulah got used to being in my home, then taking her perhaps once a week to keep her socialized with other dogs. After seeing how happy she has been there and realizing how hard it is for her to be alone for any length of time, I think she will continue to go while I'm working.

And the bonus is that on the rare occasions that I have to travel without her, she can board and it won't be a strange experience for her. I wish everybody with an only Yorkie who works could have access to this type of arrangement.

That sounds like a dream! My friend has a neighbor who has the same thing. He is a retired fellow and has 2 dogs of his own. He picks up my friend's yorkie, and another neighbor's dog, and all 4 get walks, fed, and play all day. Wish I had that near me.

I hope the rest of your stay is bearable. I for one couldn't really do it. My brother took care of Kaji for a weekend I went to Vegas with my bf. I texted him several times a day just to check in on my little man. I trust my little bro so I was "relaxed." You should have seen me when the mobile groomer came to pick up Kaji. I WAS A MESS!!!! I almost sent her home because Kaji didn't know or trust her. I have some serious separation anxiety.

So I survived the second night away from T. I have to admit that I'm a little homesick for George, too.

This morning I went for a walk before the conference began. During the first half mile, I passed 5 dogs being walked - 3 were Yorkies! I don't remember even seeing a Yorkie on the street before I started looking for T. What gives?

I'm home and happily sitting in my big chair with Tallulah in my lap.

She had a great time boarding at Yorkie Camp but I'm happy to report that when I went to retrieve her, she couldn't wait to get to me. We've done our early evening routine (dinner and a half hour of playing together) and now we're ready to crash for the night.

I told you that you'd be glad she wasn't a great dane when you went to pick her up! If so, she would have knocked you over with joy! It probably feels good to be home with her again.

At least I know that she is getting the best possible care and is with several of her daytime Yorkie buddies.

That always works for me" retail therapy"...

I know what you mean about missing them.. I am missing Tink tonight too..

I know Tallulah will be happy to see you when you get home.

So glad you made it through your traveling and can 100% relate to missing the little ones.

Just never heard it called separation anxiety (for the human), but so, so true. (and a clever phrase )
